Positivity

Some people mistake this for being happy all the time. I am not happy all the time, but optimism genuinely makes every moment a little more hopeful.

Viewing life as a bonus round

Ever since I got sober, I’ve had this nagging feeling that I got away with something that many people I’ve known over the years did not. Acknowledging this truth always alleviates any momentary anxiety I might be feeling and mainlines a potent batch of gratitude into my system. Life continues to throw a lot at you even after you’ve cleaned up your act, and in many ways it feels a lot harder to handle because reality isn’t so foggy anymore and problems aren’t as easy to shrug off as they once were. But remembering that I’m lucky to still be here at all and that I just might be in the bonus round of my life always makes me thrilled to be alive.“I want to live again!” - George Bailey, “It’s A Wonderful Life”

Not having a crush

I’m generally the type to get obsessed w a total loser who could care less about me and now that I finally decided to move on the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the day is bright, and I have a skip in my step. Ready to learn how to be cool about it!

Being realistic

It’s so so easy to spiral and be negative but I have to keep myself realistic. The man that makes you miserable is not your soulmate!!! You are not actually the worst person in the world!!! You are allowed to fuck up like everyone else!!!! Being real w myself as I would w my best friends

Going to the movies alone

I started doing this in October and it changed my life. I experience a total reset of my mind and mood - especially when the movie is really good. Though I love going with friends, there’s something therapeutic about enjoying good cinema. I try to allow myself this luxury once a month
